I feel like the original “curated links” model of Yahoo search (which was supplanted by Google twenty years ago) is actually prime for a comeback. Has anyone at Yahoo commented on this?


We already experienced it via Digg then it evolve to what we have right now that is Reddit.


Oh my god, I haven't thought about Digg for years. It's still around, apparently, but it bears no resemblance from what I (hazily) remember.


I can't imagine the horrors of fighting off lawsuits for search manipulation with such business model.


A curated list of links would not be "search manipulation"; it's protected speech in the US


Did Yahoo ever get sued previously for this?


I love the idea and I'm sentimental about when blogs and personal websites for part of circles and chains.

I miss being able to find a high quality page and seeing other high quality pages that the author or authors recommended
